Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate medium bowl, cream together the softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra burst of lemon flavor, you can sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a little coarse sugar before baking.
